When must a computer program magnetic case tape of the ANTP Q36 freighter that be installed in the magnetic tape unit?
A computer program magnetic case tape should be installed in the magnetic tape unit when it is not spinning.
Who invented magnetic recording tape?
Magnetic tape for computers was introduced in 1951 on the UNIVAC i, but was probably "invented" in 1948 or 1949 while Eckert and Mauchly were trying to think of ways to get data into and out of a computer at "electronic speeds" to avoid the bottleneck of then existing electromechanical equipment. Magnetic tape for audio goes back to the 1930's, although practical civilian applications had to wait for the end of WWII. (The Germans used magnetic tape during the war, while the Allies had only wire recorders.)
What does the magnetic and optical recording media industry do?
The magnetic and optical recording media industry manufactures blank audio and video recording tape, computer tape, and both rigid and floppy computer disks
Function of tape drive?
A tape drive is a device that stores computer data on magnetic tape, especially backup and achieving purpose.
Definition of first generation of computer?
1940s to 1958: vacuum tube computers, primary I/O magnetic tape or punched cards.
Write a short note on magnetic disk?
Magnetic tape is a medium for magnetic recording, made of a thin magnetizable coating on a long, narrow strip of plastic. It was developed in Germany, based on magnetic wire recording. Devices that record and play back audio and video using magnetic tape are tape recorders and video tape recorders. A device that stores computer data on magnetic tape is a tape drive.
In what computer generation did printer originated?
The first computer printers were just existing electromechanical accounting machines, modified to connect to the computer instead of printing from punchcards. They were introduced on the earliest commercially available first generation computers (e.g. UNIVAC I, IBM 701, IBM 702).Because they were very slow compared to the computer, in many cases they were actually connected "indirectly": the computer wrote the text to a magnetic tape then the operator took the magnetic tape to an offline tape drive that read it and sent the text to the printer.
When was the first data magnetic tape invented?
In 1951
Why does a magnet affect a video tape?
They affect it by completely wiping any memory of what is recorded on the tape
Can magnetic recording tape be converted to cassettes or CD's?
Cassettes ARE magnetic recording tape. You can record these onto a computer and then burn them to CD, or use a standalone CD recorder to transfer the recording.
The greatest nonvolatile storage capacity in the computer system is found in?
Magnetic backup tape.
How output was shown in first generation computer?
Usually on magnetic tape. The tape would then be read offline and printed with a lineprinter. Punched cards were also popular, but typically had to be printed on a lineprinter also to be read.
